    2 Wheeler : Wheel Alignment / Balancing Centers in Bangalore

    Hi,

    I own a ZMR and offlate found that there is slight wheel wobble on rear. I feel there is slight bend. Couple of places I read the wheel bend can be removed by hydraulic press / wheel alignment / balancing. Donno what exactly will help me.

    Can you guys mention the place where 2 Wheeler : Wheel Alignment / Balancing Centers are available in Bangalore.

    Thanks.

      Recently, I got my Linea's bent alloy wheel repaired from A1 Car Care Centre.

      Please talk to Ilyas Khan and decide.

        Have you checked with the Hero Motocorp SVC? I guess they should be able to do it. Once for my Bajaj bike, the Bajaj SVC guys did the job.

              Though I'm not from Bangalore, I can comment on the issue. Firstly, I'm yet to come across a wheel alignment/balancing center for bikes. I see some clip weights on the rims of new bikes, but mine didn't have them. No idea about whether they were balanced at the factory or not. When I ask around, some say that bikes need wheel balancing after tyre change while others say it is only for cars.
              Coming to the rim bend, my R15 recently had a rear rim bend after we dumped it in a huge pothole when air pressure was very low (old tyres). The air leaked out within 5mins.
              Managed to fill in air&ride back home.
              Later got it repaired at a hydraulic press. It is pretty simple, only that you need to remove the tyre&take the rim separately. Costed me only 100 bucks.
              Don't go for the conventional hammering method to repair the rim as alloys will lose their strength if hammered-they are not like steel spokes.
              You need to look for a similar shop there.

                Yeah I had read about your R15 wheel bend in Fiero thread I guess. I will have to check with Gixxer if he knows anyone in Bangalore who can do the Hydraulic press. I have those metal weights but I don't think thats balanced.

                Thanks for your feedback, I will check if some lathe guys have hydraulic press and if they can do.

                Any specific procedure I should instruct them to follow ?

                  Shreeni,
                  Whether you remember this or not I do not know but raised this issue long ago in the ZMR Thread.
                  Though I am from Kolkata yet to find out these centres.

                  Had some serious issues with my rear stock Tyre and changed to Zapper-Q.
                  Still the problem continued.
                  Ultimately changed to tube setting with rear Michelin M-45 & front Michelin M-62 around 9500 kms.
                  Planning to change to TUBELESS thru Michelin help and change Tyres @ 20000 kms.
                  Will be able to update then only.
                  34567 kms and ZMR sold :(

                    A Michelin dealer told me the same here, telling stock MRF tyre is the culprit. But I don't think that tyre was the culprit. I am using Michelin Sirac, even then I have the issues of wobbling. And the old rubber I have swapped it to my Bullet and there is no wobbling on my Bullet.

                            Hello
                            Did you get any proper place to do wheel alignment by hydraulic press in Bangalore?
                            Recently my Uni front wheel is wobling. Cant understand why.

                              Won't the repairing process critically weaken the rim? A repaired rim shouldn't shatter upon impact (like the KTM rims), that'd be a disaster.
